All these long winded descriptions, one would think that there was actually a debate. There is one word to describe this set and it is "awe-inspiring." Unquestionably the best castle set TLC has ever produced 6/5!

This is a very special set to me, as it was the first LEGO set I ever owned. I still remember that Christmas when it was set up under the tree. This set and Caribbean Clipper are my two favourite LEGO sets.

6080 was my first large castle set too and the begining point that my lego castle world being existing till today. First set was the charriot and small turnament and today I am happy to own 3 x 6080, two in gray unbuilt and THIS one in White'n'Red.

Clearly, this is the Holy Grail of all the castle sets. I'm glad that TLG still uses this set as a Basis Model for new sets, such 7946 and 70404. This set influenced many generations ahead, thats why it marked a before and after in the Lego Castle storyline.

The wide colour selection on plumes, torsos, saddles, horses and legs bring to this set that 'infinite build" feeling, allowing to the kid to make more permutations with the pieces. Nowadays is possible but a bit morecomplicated because the present lines manages a defined colour theme for the good guys and the bad guys.
